UHF SATCOM DEMAND ASSIGNMENT MULTIPLE ACCESS (DAMA) CONTROL SYSTEM STANDARD DUE 063095. POC Mr. Sam George, (908) 532-7715. This announcement is a resolicitation of government and industry organizations interested in providing comments to the draft UHF SATCOM DAMA Control System Standard. Significant time has elapsed since a 14 Feb 1995 announcement, similar to this announcement, was prematurely placed in the CBD. It is important to emphasize that responses to that earlier 14 Feb 1995 announcement are now regarded as dated. Organizations that want to provide comments must respond anew in accordance with this new following announcement. The Department of Defense (DOD) is soliciting government and industry comments to a draft interface standard that will document the technical criteria for interoperability and performance of the integrated 5-kHz and 25-kHz UHF satellite communications (SATCOM) demand assigned multiple access (DAMA) multi-channel network control systems procured by DOD. Such systems will implement the concept of decentralized resource management and centralized system control endorsed by the Joint Staff. This standard (currently designated MIL-STD-188-185) will be interoperable with the existing waveform structures defined in MIL-STD-188-182, Interoperability Standard for 5-kHz UHF DAMA Terminal Waveform, and MIL-STD-188-183, Interoperability Standard for 25-kHz UHF TDMA/DAMA Terminal Waveform. Government and industry organizations interested in contributing comments to this standard are requested to notify Mr. Sam George, in writing, by 30 June 1995 at DISA/JIEO Center For Standards, ATTN: JEBBC, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703-5613. All information provided by industry shall be nonproprietary and at no cost to the government. All organizations participating in this effort must do so at their own expense. This announcement will not obligate DISA/JIEO Center For Standards or any other government organizations to reimburse any participant's expenses. Only written responses to this announcement will be accepted. DOD cannot assure that any procurement will result from the standard developed.
